ossim-icp - ossim-icp

## SYNOPSIS

**ossim-icp** \[*options*\] *\<output\_type\> \<input\_file\> \<output\_file\>*

## DESCRIPTION

Description: ossim-icp copies any supported input image format to any supported output image format format

## OPTIONS

- **--disable-elev**

  Will disable the elevation

- **--disable-notify**

  Takes an argument. Arguments are ALL, WARN, NOTICE, INFO, FATAL, DEBUG.  If you want multiple disables then just do multiple **--disable-notify** on the command line.  All argument are case insensitive.  Default is all are enabled.

- **--filter-spec** \<fname\>

  This is an external file spec that describes a chain for filtering the input image.

- **--ossim-logfile**

  takes a logfile as an argument.  All output messages are redirected to the specified log file.  By default there is no log file and all messages are enabled.

- **--pixel-type** \<type\>

  Valid values: area or point, this will determine if the tie point is upper left corner of the upper left pixel (area) or the center of the upper left corner (point), default=point. NOTE: This option will only affect the tiff writer.

- **--reader-prop** \<string\>

  Adds a property to send to the reader. format is name=value

- **--use-mask** \[\<fname\>\]

  Optionally specify name of mask file to use for masking the input image. If no filename given, then the default mask filename is used.

- **--writer-prop** \<string\>

  Adds a property to send to the writer. format is name=value

- **-K**

  specify individual keywords to add to the preferences keyword list: name=value

- **-L** or **--end-line** \<n\>

  Which end line do you wish to copy from the input.  If none is given then max line is used

- **-P**

  specify a preference file to load

- **-T**

  specify the classes to trace, ex: ossimInit\|ossimImage.\* will trace ossimInit and all ossimImage classes

- **-a** or **--use-scalar-remapper**

  Uses scalar remapper, transforms to 8-bit

- **-b** or **--bands** \<n,n...\>

  uses the specified bands: ex. "1, 2, 4" will select bands 1 2 and 4 of the input image. Note: it is 1 based

- **-c** or **--compression-type** \<type\>

  Uses compression.  Currently valid for only tiff output **-c** jpeg will use jpeg compression

- **-e** or **--entry** \<n\>

  For multi image handlers which entry do you wish to extract

- **-g**

  Convert to grey scale.

- **-h** or **--help**

  Display this information

- **-l** or **--start-line** \<n\>

  Which start line do you wish to copy from the input. If none is given then 0 is used

- **-o** or **--create-overview**

  Creates and overview for the output image

- **-p** or **--end-sample** \<n\>

  The end sample you wish to copy from the input. If none is given then max sample is used

- **-q** or **--compression-quality** \<n\>

  Uses compression.  Valid for jpeg type. default is 75 where 100 is best and 1 is worst

- **-r** or **--res-level** \<n\>

  Which res level to extract from the input: ex **-r** 1 will get res level 1

- **-s** or **--start-sample** \<n\>

  Which start sample do you wish to copy from the input.  If none is given then 0 is used

- **-t** or **--create-thumbnail** \<n\>

  Takes an argument which is the maximum pixel dimension desired.

- **-w** or **--tile-width** \<n\>

  Defines the tile width for the handlers that support tiled output

Valid output writer types:

tiff\_strip tiff\_strip\_band\_separate tiff\_tiled tiff\_tiled\_band\_separate jpeg general\_raster\_bip general\_raster\_bil general\_raster\_bsq general\_raster\_bip\_envi general\_raster\_bil\_envi general\_raster\_bsq\_envi nitf\_block\_band\_separate nitf\_block\_band\_sequential nitf20\_block\_band\_separate nitf20\_block\_band\_sequential ossim\_pdf
